Storage Management
NOTE
Storage Management is an optional feature that must be enabled by Support.
To help reduce the size of Exchange mailboxes without using personal storage folder (PST) files, AMS provides a service called Storage Management, or stubbing. This service allows AMS to locate messages within end-user mailboxes that match size and age criteria defined by Administrators. When attachments are located that meet or exceed these criteria, AMS automatically removes these attachments from the messages and replaces each attachment with an HTML link (called a “stubs”), and stores the attachments within the AMS Data center, maintaining only one copy of an attachment that has been received by multiple recipients.
Administrators can set Storage Management policies based on the number of days the message has been in the user’s mailbox, and on the size of the attachment, allowing different thresholds for standard and inline attachments.
To use any of these Storage Management features, you must first configure storage management retention scheduling as described in Configure Storage Management parameters.
To enable Storage Management, you must create one or more storage management policies. See Create Storage Management Policies.
